The 7th release in the "Live In A Dive" series comes from Lagwagon, and it is quite possibly the most complete, original, interesting and best played show on the series.
The live set of the band (recorded at the "House Of Blues" in Hollywood on the day of by birthday, 5/31/2003, and on another day, 6/1/2003) is made of 22 songs and a cd-enanched part (with a band interview by Fat Mike) and with a full comic book for the LP version.
The show is very powerful, and even tough it is recorded perfectly by Ryan Greene, you can still hear the crowd screaming, the mistakes that a band does when they play live and it's not as polished as the No Use For A Name live disc.

 IndieHQ [Independent Sales Supplement - Fat Wreck Chords]
Many of Fat’s biggest acts are not nearly as big as they once were and these days, their release schedule is filled with newer bands that don’t yet have the following their past roster had.
I think Fat has rested on their laurels and if Fat are going to continue being one of the top indie labels, they need to re-focus their efforts into their newer artists.
Although is hard to sell original CDs from Fat Wreck Records in South America, because a import CD cost three times more than a local band CD and almost all of the fans download it using Emule, Fat Wreck is the label that sell more CDs than any other independent label.

Recently, MVWire was able to speak with Mike what it was like co-directing with Fat Mike, the bassist and founder of Fat Wreck Chords, and how the idea of celebrity karaoke came to be.
MS: No, we didn’t want to burn a ton of film, but Fat Mike, who is the bassist for the band and he runs the record label, was very specific in regards to who he wanted to sing which part.
It is strange that I had worked for Fat Wreck before and had never met him.

 "E" Is For Everything On Fat Wreck Chords | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
It's grossly unfair to underestimate the virtues of a band that does an effective job whipping out a brassy, hopped-up mixture of punk and power-pop: So many bands are doing it these days that it's easy to overlook the few that pull off the mix to near-perfection.
Bracket is one of those rare bands, and its new, minimally hyped "E" Is For Everything On Fat Wreck Chords is a minor miracle.
"E" Is For Everything On Fat Wreck Chords comes and goes in a mere 27 minutes, and that punchy brevity is evidence of a band that knows when enough is just right.

 STRIKE ANYWHERE "Dead FM" Fat Wreck Chords
SINCE THE RAMONES first started banging out simple chords in the 1970s, the punk/hardcore scene has been constantly regenerating to invigorate younger generations, and Richmond quintet Strike Anywhere has been bubbling with a fiery intensity since its formation in 1999.
On "Dead FM," the musicians show no sign of slowing down as they churn through stock punk songs at a dizzying pace -- none of the album's 14 tracks is longer than three minutes.
But often, the group's text veers into grandiose statements ("Punk has always been a place for solidarity and liberation from ignorance and religious prejudice") or unnecessary clarifications ("This here song talks about belief systems and demagogues") instead of letting the songs speak for themselves.

 Ink 19 :: Bracket
Live in a Dive is, as the title implies, a live album, released by one of the lesser-known but no less appealing bands on the Fat Wreck Chords label.
In addition to the now hard-to-find songs, the gig setlist also dips into two Fat Wreck compilations and a previous Bracket hodgepodge on Fat Wreck called E is for Everything -- another high point for neophytes.
But the extensive delay from recording in August 1999 at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco to commercial release in March 2002 is the lingering question.
